ENAMELlNG-TABLE.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 645,517, dated March 13, 1900.

' Application filed July 5,1898. Serial No.685,l7( No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN A. SIEYERT,

a citizen of the-United States, residing in- Chicago, in the county of Oookand State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Enameling-Table's, of which the followin g is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in tables or machines employed in the manufacture of enameledironsinks, bowls, ves-.

sels, and ware of various kinds for holding and rotating ativarious inclinations the heated vessel or article while the enameling-powder is being dustedior sprinkled upon the same. Heretofore indnsting the channeling-pow der upon .the heated vessel twoworkmen have generally been employed, one to rotate or operate the table or support'upon which the heated article is held and the other to hold in one hand the long-handled sieve and shake it by striking it with the knocker or looped bar with the other.

The object of my invention is to provide.

an improved enameling table or niachi'ne'of a simple, efficient, and durable construction,

- by means of which the time and labor. of the extra man may be-saved.

To this'end my invention consists in the combination, with an enameling-table mounted to rotate upon a swinging support or frame,

so that the axis of rotation of the table may be changed or varied as required, of a treadle or foot-lever and connections between the treadle and the shaft of'the rotating table,by means of which the workman while holding the enamel-powder sieve in one hand and the knocker in the other may himselfrotate the table from time to time as required While the dusting proceeds. The machine is also provided with a second lever'and connections between it and the swinging frame or support upon which the rotating table is mounted,

so that the workman can also from time to time change the inclination of the rotating vessel or article as required.

My invention also consists in the novel construction of parts and in the novel combination of parts and devices herein shown and described, and specified in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,.forn1ing a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a side 'd"-on the shaft d by which the lever Dis pivoted, 'a sprocket-wheel d on said shaft d elevation of an enameling table or machine embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is a similar view looking from theopposite side to Fig. 1.

Fig; 3 is an end elevation. I 5f; In the drawings, A represents the main frame of the machine.

B is a swinging frame or support pivoted by the shaft 1) to the main frame A. H .O is the rotating enameling-t-able, having a central shaft O,'journaled onthe swinging frame B,so that the table Cmay rotate on its own axis or shaft 0, while its frame or support B may be swung to di'iferent inclinations to change the plane of rotation of the table 0. I

-'D is a treadle or foot-lever,by which,through suitable connections or gearing from said. lever to the shaft of the, rotating table 0, the workman is enabled to turn or rotate the table from time to time as required while holding the'enamel-powder. sieve in one hand and a I knooker for shaking the same inthe other; p The mechanical connections or gearing be tween the operating lever or treadle I) and 7'5 the shaft C of the table may be of. any suitable kind or construction; but I prefer to employ for this purpose, as indicated in the drawings, a pawl 61 on the lever D, a ratchet a chain at, a sprocket-wheel d on the co un-' ter-shaft'd", a second sprocket-wheeld on said shaft d a chain (i sprocket-wheel d on shaft '1), and bevel-gear 01 on shaft'b,"which mesheswith a bevel-gear d onthe shaft 0 of the rotary enameling-table. To vary the inclination of the frame or support D and the rotary table 0, mounted thereon,": the machine is also furnished with a notched lever or bar F, pivoted at f by the I arm b on the frame or support B. The frame or support B is held at any desired inclination by the notches f on the lever or bar F. engaging a projection f attached to the frame.

G represents the enamel-powder-holding sieve, which the operator holds in one hand, and G the knocker, which, grasping in the other hand, he uses to shake the sieve.

I claim- 1. In an enamel-dusting table or machine,

ICO

the combination with a rotary enameling-tabio, of a pivoted or swinging frame or support on which the enameling-table is mounted, a foot-lever or treadle, and connections from the same to the shaft of the rotary table for rotating the table, substantially as specified.

2. In an enamel-dusting table or machine, the cornbinationwith a rotary enameling-table, of a pivoted or swinging frame or support in which the enameling-table is mounted, a foot-lever or treadle, connections from the same to the shaft of the rotary table for rotating the table, and a notched lover or bar for changing the inclination of the swinging frame or support, substantially as specified.

3. The combination with a rotary enameling-table having a shaft furnished with a bevel-gear, a swingingframe upon which the enameling-table is mounted, a shaft upon which the swinging frame is pivoted, and provided with a bevel-gear meshing with the gear on the shaft of the rotary table, a treadle, and mechanism for communicating motion from the treadle to said last-mentioned shaft, substantially as specified.

as specified. v i
